Bruce Willis' wife says he is not going to get better and his kids are aware of his declining health

According to reports, Bruce Willis's wife, Emma Heming Willis, and their two daughters were constantly conscious of their father's declining health.

Heming disclosed in a recent interview that she has taken care to avoid hiding Willis' illness from the young children because it is not something to sugarcoat.

Following his diagnosis of aphasia, which was later determined to be frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Bruce Willis left the film industry. Heming has stated that she has no intention of lying to her young daughters, Evelyn, 10, and Mabel, 12, regarding the health of their father, Bruce.

The children saw the movie star's health decline before he was even given a dementia diagnosis, the model told Town & Country Magazine. She has never made an effort to make anything seem nice to them. They grew up watching Willis deteriorate over time, Heming remarked.

Heming added that Willis' illness is frequently misdiagnosed and misunderstood, adding that receiving an accurate diagnosis enabled her to better understand the actor's struggles. Finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that she could learn what fronto­temporal dementia is and I could educate our children, as quoted in a report by the Blast.

Emma Heming Willis has revealed that frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a whisper rather than a scream. Willis was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, but the diagnosis was confirmed the following year.

Heming believes that FTD whispers, not shouts, and that the signs of his dementia struggles were not immediately obvious. She also mentioned that her children know that their father is not going to get better. Heming has used her voice to raise awareness for FTD and regularly attends seminars with experts and researchers.
